A VISIONS!

1t was just as day was dawning
In the beautiful eastern skies,
That I, watchworn and weary,
Closed my sorrowful eyes.
I did not think that I could sleep,
was weary with watching and weeping
only thought I'd rest awhile,
But before knew was sleeping.
And soon foil to dreaming,
And dreamed of heavenly things;
thought I saw an Angel,
With beautiful golden wings,
Float softly to the cradle,
Where my infant cousin lay,
And take her gently in her arms
And swiftly fly away.
I put out my hand to stay her,
But she vanished from my sight;
And all around, whore she had been,
Shown with a heavenly light.
Twas then thought of its mother,
And wandered what she'd say,
When I'd tell her that an Angel
Had borne her child away.
At length was awakened
BY weak and feverish cry,
SO knew that I'D been dreaming
And the little child would die.
It's eyes looked pleadingly in mine.
Its lips were parched and dry;
Although had been dreaming,
KNEW the child must die.
So placed it on pillow,
And took it on my arm,
held it closely to me
And tried its limbs to warm.
But alas ! it was..too late,
This was the chill of death,
Fainter, fainter, beat its pulse,
It slowly drew it's breath.
1 walked its sleeping mother,
And babe her come and see,
Her darling little baby, that
An Angel soon would be.
She came and knelt beside it,
And kissed its pallid cheek,
But not q word she uttered,
For from grief she could not speak.
Her baby now lay sleeping.
But we could not hear it's breath,
In vain we tried to wake it,
For it was asleep in death.
So the Angel must have come,
And taken the child away;
And carried it up to Heaven,
Just at the break of day.

ssTHE FARIER LASS o. PIPING PEB

Macon Telegraph


In the July number OF LippincOtt's

under the title ssThe Farrier Lass OF
Piping Pebworth" that will be read
wherever the magazine circuiates with
pleasure and interest. 1t Is gem oil

the work OF a master hand. For South.

heart OF the old South.

VIM. G. Rives, of Virginia, than whom

of the Southern people. Her home is

nance. Trained and educated in this
home, selecting her own studies ana
occupations, she has developed into an
artist and literateur. Nature to her
mental talents has added beautiful
face and form and an energy which
speaks not alone in her works but In
her characters themselves. Her first
publication was ga Brother to ORA
goons," short story, which made her
famous in week.
1t is our misfortune to have missed
the first work from the pen of Miss
Rives, but "The Farrier Lass of Piping
Pebworth" Is probably the best COM
pensatton we could have had. So
charming tale is rarely told; one so
complete in all tho elements that round
up story are rarer still. The figures
therein under the marvelously def
touch of the artist stand forth like
portraits in tho galleries of the old
masters. Here is the "farrier lass'' as
pictured by the smith, her father, as
he chats over a glass of ale in the
tavern: "Ne'er in all thy travels
hast thou e'er seen SO crack. brain a
wench as my Keren! Lord, it set thy

as any lad o'her age j. the village. In
her seeming she took neither after her
mother nor after me, though she was
comely wench, as wenctes go-hair
as black as January night in stormy
weather, and eyes as big and as bright
and as yellow TO- my word)-as yellow
as two crowd pieces. They looked out
from under her thick eyebrows like
sunlight peeping from n heavy cloud.
And she was made like lad for sup
pleness. Taller than her mother by n
head and shoulders, and within II full
inch O. my torelock. By'r laykin!
how she could sing, too! She would
troll the ditty i the voice o. a six

sweet as bells far away on still noon
in summertide."

OF stmite seems boundiess. Here is
another scene from the reaper's field,
when the girl seizes a sickle to show
her skill before a rival:

lOungers at the Union depot yesterday
morning.
''Have you lost oneE" asked an elderly
stranger # bland and sedate appearance.
Eyes, yes; have you found itY''
wait a moment. What was its de-
nomination."
1T was a $50 Educational bank
note"
The stranger ~leisurely drew a roll Of
bills from his pocket, looked them over,
took n out and passed it over to the ex-
cited individual, remarking with much
urbanity as he did so:
at is well for you, my friend, that it
was found by an honest mar | picked
it up n few minutes ago, and take pleasure
in giving back to you what I am satisfied
is your property"
Thank you, sir; thank you. It's my
turn now to do the fair thing. Here's a
$40 bill. You shan't refuse it. Take it,
sir; take it, or l shall feel hurt"
The stranger, thus urged, took the
money, and the grateful individual walked
off with his $50. He was considerably
surprised to learn, a few hours later, that
the bill was not the one he had lost at
all, but a counterfeit. He is now looking
for the bland and elderly stranger, but
there are reasons for doubling his success
in finding him.-Chicago Tribune.

cially the Difference everywhere paid the cor
respondents Of the Paris journals. Though
they held special passes and received special
honors at headquarters, they were regarded
with suspicion in the smaller communes, and
three of them were arrested as Prussian spies!
So the fun was not all on one side. But they
have their revenge in p~icturing the eback-
woods mayor" as follows:
w have been arrested three times and
taken before the mayors. The mayor of Pin
saquel is worthy OF a place in Plutarch. We
found the vigorous old fellow GO years old,
before his bakers oven, naked down to the
belt; and his patriotic and energetic language
greatly moved u.s." The car load of N ntag-
nords peasants from the slopes of the Pyre-
nees) is highly suggestive of scenes in the
United States in 1864; while they joke,
laugh and bear up with a show of resolution,
it is evident that they are just from the pillow,
drafted into the army" and secretly wishing
themselves at home once more. In conclu-
sion, we may say that this success in rapid
mobilization makes the French military force
now the equal OF any in the world. Extraor-
binary rapidity of concentration and move
ment was the Growing glory of the German
army in 1866 and 1870. Gen. Boulanger
adopted this method of testing the great mill
tary machine the French have created at
such expense, and the result adds immensely
to the military prestige of the republic.

In the Cologne cathedral there are Z
inches for the reception of statues at all
the chief doors and at the side entrances.
The height of the vestibule is 7 times 8
feet; 2 pediments for the figures stand in
the same; Z chapels surround the choir,
the width of which, like that of the inner
area of the church, is 7 times 90 feet,
while the height Of the choir is 7 times
% feet; the height of the aisles are z

the choir. In the aisles are z times s

is Z times rs feet, and the height to the
summit of the principal towers was also
fixed at Z times TO feet. The three trans
verse aisles are Z times Is feet wide. Not
only does the number 2 enter SO largely

That new conditions create new types and
new diseases Is a well known fact in physi-
ology. One of the latest to develop in Wash
ington is a typewriter paralysis" This dis
ease doesn't attack the machine, as the name
given to it might imply, but the bright eyed
young woman who runs it. With an evil
dence OF acute discrimination and good taste
hardly to be expected in one so new, 1t de-
votes its attention to the aforesaid young
woman, and leaves the machine to the tender
mercies OF Suffering" skipping" slip
ping" and all the other ~failings to which its
cast iron flesh Is heir. Several Of the expert
typewriters in the departments tell me that
they are victims of the new tangled disease.
1t first appears in their slender wrists. II
their wrists are not slender-which of course
is the exception rather than the rule-it de-
velops there Just the same. The right wrist
succumbs first, as that is also used in writ
ing with the pen. The hand Is useless for q
while and throbs with pains that shoot up
into the wrist and forearm. Sometimes it
results in partial paralysis OF the side. 1t
seems to differ in this from the ordinary tele-
grapher's paralysis, which, l am told, inter
feres with the use of the hand for telegraph
ing only, and leaves its skill In other ways
unimpaired.-New York Tribune.

1t is a fact, which had already struck
me, N which / had heard frequently re-
marked upon, that American wives, If
they are not allowed so much latitude In
Irritation as English ones, receive much
more Difference and n greater share of les
petits soins from their husbands. An
American husband himself pays his wife
those little attentions which in English
society usually devolve upon another
man il the lady happens to be pretty and
agreeable, and which she does without If
she is neither. 1t is possible that the SUI
periority of the American system may be
due to the ease with which divorce can be
obtained in some states, and which, to
use a hOmely expression, put a pair ''more
upon their ps and as" with each other.
1t may arise from a higher development
of the sentiment Of chivalry in the breast
of the American man. At any rate, he
shows to advantage in his domestic ms
well as in his business relations. Temple

railway commission, and the examination Of
the ingenious witness and experienced enter
priser, C. p. Huntington. The scene Of the in
quiry-in the Aston building, Pine street, New
York-is an attractive one to artists and re-
porters, and they have plenty of material for
the exercise of their talents and the earning
OF shekels in recording the words and atti-
tudes OF Mr.. Huntington and his co-witness,
Gen. Dodge, the honorable gentlemen who
compose the commission, and the slightly
waspish gentleman who acts as counsel for
the Central Pacific. Conspicuous for size
and solid dignity is the Hon. David 7. Lit

Abraham Lincoln's old district. He is evil

line, Grecian, Roman nor Hebrew, but a
straight, composite, Yankee nose-one might
say it was in the style of the Connecticut
renaissance. Other notable figures in the
room are those Of A. A. Cohen, Esq, attor-
ney for the Central Pacific, and-Judge Dill
lon, the same for the Union Pacific. Like all
the other participants they are physically
solid, wholesome looking men. Indeed, the
work these men are engaged in, especially
the railroaders, is not the sort Of task for
which slim little men are selected. A look
at this commission, with the attorneys and
witnesses, is a pleasing proof that Americans
are in no wise degenerated from the old
ArYan stock.

addition TO the regular army, which exceeds
100000 men, the French have put on a semi
military footing all the militia of the first
class and nearly as many reserves. As these
are working citizens in time of peace, and
only to be called out in an emergency, the
problem was to make them ready for war at
short notice and yet leave them citi-
zens. The system adopted is called
the mobilization of the corps d'armee.
The plan is that of Gen. Boulanger,
some time since removed from the office of
secretary Of war; but his scheme has been
carried out with signal success by the present
secretary. There are eighteen of these corps
d'armee-each comprising the militia Of a
given district. When the enrolment, ar
rangement and preliminary drills were COM
plete, it was decided to select one district, no.
tify the men to assemble at once, complete
the arrangements and make the success a
test. TIL district selected was in the south of
